Personal Statement
I am a 6'3", 180 pound swimmer from Hershey, PA and I will graduate in the class of 2014. I am currently preparing for NCSA Junior Nationals and my senior year at Hershey High School where I am looking to compete in my fourth PIAA Class AAA Swimming Championship. My first three years I competed in the 500 free, 200 free and finished with personnel bests in each event. I also competed in our 200 (prelims) and 400 (prelims and finals) free relays. I have received NISCA All America Honors for the 400 free relay and 500 free. Our 2013 team repeated as Conference and District Champions and placed 2nd at our state meet. In 2010-2011 my High School Swim Team won Conference, District, State and National titles during my freshman year on the team. I am interested in swimming in college for a team with an established tradition of success. I would like to attend a college that has a balanced blend of academic, athletic and social experiences and is an integral part of its' community. The college and its' offerings are more important than the location and I would be interested in considering colleges throughout the country. Academically, I would like to pursue an educational program that combines design and technology.
